Monorail Tips (36)

The nearest monorail station is about ten minutes from the Shangri La Hotel. To get there you need to turn left out of the hotel and keep walking along Jalan Sultan Ismail until you come to Bukit Nenas monorail station. Basically you cant miss it as the track goes right past the hotel so simply follow that.

The Kuala Lumpur (KL) Monorail, previously known as the Peoplemover Rapid Transit Line, is an urban intercity rail system with two parallel elevated tracks. With 11 elevated stations, the line connects the city's transit hub, Kuala Lumpur Sentral station in Brickfields, to Titiwangsa Terminal in Jalan Tun Razak, passing via the central business district – the Golden Triangle.

The KL Monorail has 11 stations designed to accommodate longer trains. The stations are elevated structures with platforms on the top floor, and ticketing is provided on the ground or first floors.There has, however, been criticism that the platforms are not wide enough for free passenger movement. They also have low-level roofs with poor ventilation, and the escalators only

The system has ten permanently-coupled, two-car train sets travelling at a top speed of 80km/h. The trains are of a similar design to those of ALWEG Monorail in Seattle, and are 20m long and 3m wide. The trains have 48 seats and space to accommodate 196 standing passengers.The monorail train has two 75kW motors and runs on 750V DC power. The end of each car is equipped with a coupler to detach and dispatch it to the nearest station in case of power failure, and emergency back-up power ensures the train remains operational for a 30-minute period.

This was our fourth visit to KL and we were not sure what we wanted to do or see, but when we took the monorail from KL Sentral to Raja Chulan we realised that the monorail passed several interesting buildings so we used it for our next day's sightseeing. It is very easy to use. Buy your ticket from a machine. You can set it to telling you what to do in English. You will receive a token. Touch the token to the reader at the monorail entry barrier. Put it in the slot to be swallowed up and reused at the end of your trip. The monorail was fine but can be crowded.

Getting around on the Monorail is simple. The lines are colour coded for easy identification. Although they can tend to be quite packed. We had to wait for the next one as we couldn't get onto the first....but never mind, they are only about 10 minutes apart.

Like many other Asian cities, Kuala Lumpur dominated by motorized traffic. Cars and motorcycles given free rein, though congestion is the order of the day. In the nineties of the twentieth century, large amounts of money invested in the accessibility of the city. To replace the airfield was located in the city about seventy miles outside Kuala Lumpur's new "Kuala Lumpur International Airport Sepang" built. Public transport was boosted. Three subway lines were built, each with a private operator and characteristics. Later in the hands of the government.

Ampang Line (formerly, STAR): The most conventional of the three lines, a "normal" line that runs completely above ground. Large parts run on viaducts. The line has two branches. Kelana Jaya Line (formerly, Putra): The underground on this line are driven by magnetic force and have no directors. The line runs primarily on viaducts. A section in the center runs underground. KL Monorail: A monorail located entirely on an overpass.

From the central station are running regional trains in different directions. International trains to Singapore and Thailand.

Unlike Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur is well served by mass transit system that includes trains of more than one type. The cutest to look at is the monorail which even seems build especially for the locals considering its low ceiling – perfect fit with the exception of some European head sticking out all the way to the roof. The only disadvantage of the otherwise immaculately knit network is the lack of advance purchase of tickets or passes. The result is long queues during rush hour and added stress for nothing. There must be some really important reason why this is a preferred option for the companies but at the end the customers that they are serving are the ones to suffer.

the monorail of Malaysia was made famous by the film entrapment in 1999 starring sean connery and catherine zeta jones) and remains one of the icon of kuala lumpur. lately it has been gradually replaced by the Light Railway Transit which have dual tracked rails hence the momorail one has a one line tracks along kuala lumpur unike the Light Railways which has multiple lines around KL. The Kuala Lumpur Monorail Line system consists of a single dual-way line that links areas of inner Kuala Lumpur previously not served by rail transport, namely Brickfields, Bukit Bintang and Chow Kit, with pre-existing LRT and/or KTM Komuter stations at KL Sentral, Hang Tuah, Bukit Nanas and Titiwangsa. The line's two terminus stations are on a single track. The Basic Fares start at 1.20 Ringgit one way and gradually increases depending on the number of stations. it is interconnected by the LRT at the Titiwangsa, KL Sentral and Hang Tuah stations that you can change to LRT stations (but pay for the LRT fares for the LRT destinations too).

The monorail in KL is very different than the skytrain in Bangkok, the trains are much smaller and fatter, and there are a number of lines and changing points, the centre being KL Central. It isn't much cheaper than using taxis if there is more than 1 person but it is well worth trying out the monorail for the novelty value of travelling overhead.

The Kuala Lumpur monorail is a very convenient mode of transport for the tourists as it serves the central part of Kuala Lumpur where the tourists are likely to go.It stops at 11 stations including places like KL central, Bukit Bintang and Petronas towers, so you have a good chance of stepping on to the monorail.It´s a very fast and efficient way of getting around the city where you often have traffic jams during rush hour, so get on the monorail if you wanna get there fast.
